This brand is a Sephora exclusive and only typically
available in the US bar a few exceptions. The Liquid lipstick retails for $19 (roughly
£13) and contains 0.22oz/6.23gram of product. There is a choice of 12 colours
in the range you can choose from either online at www.sephora.com or in store (although most
stores I visited while in the states were low/out of the most popular shades. Alternatively
these can be purchased on eBay but at a stupidly inflated price.

| Bachelorette in natural light |
Bachelorette is
described on the website as ‘Dark reddish fuchsia’ and I have to agree this is
a really accurate description of the colour in the tube, although I find on my
really light skin it looks like a very light red with a mild pink undertone.
The packaging I think is perfect! They come in long, but
perfectly handbag sized tubes that are crystal clear so you can get a really
great look at the colour of each shade, unlike other well-known brands that
used frosted glass so it’s really hard to tell the true colour and get a decent
photo. (Rant over!) The tube is decorated with stunning ornate swirls and shiny
silver roses that give it a super sexy gothic look. Would you expect anything
less from their delicious creator Miss Kat Von D?

| Bachelorette on Lips |
I think this colour is nearly scentless much like most of
the other shades in this collection which I think is a real positive. This
colour is extremely smooth to apply, like the rest a very thin layer is applied
to the lips but its best you do apply in even layers across the lips to avoid
patches. This colour dries fast (that sucks for me as I like to apply my
colours slowly to make sure I get the best lip shape) BUT unlike the others
that dry to a completely matte finish and texture, Bachelorette dries to a
matte finish, but its texture stays slightly sticky.
Bachelorette again is a truly resistant colour after the
stickiness wears off, when it’s on your lips you had better believe its staying
there for hours! As I mentioned earlier this brand can go a little patchy, especially
if you have to re-apply over a patch you missed during your first layer or a
faded spot after a few hours wear, The lesson is try to get it perfect first
time, which is easier said than done at times! I find if you do have to fill in
a patch or sharpen a lip line the best thing to use is a small, fine angled
eyeliner brush to give precise application and a crisp lip line.
I found Bachelorette to last 8 hours before it started to
come off in flakes and patches around the inner corner of my lips. Because of
the ‘stickiness’ of this shade it did transfer onto glasses and mugs easily for
the first hour until the sticky layer had eventually been removed by the
contact. The only thing I find that removes this brand decently at the end of
the day is LUSH lip scrub with added coconut oil, If you use a wipe your more
likely to make your lips sore and stain your face.

| Comparison of KVD Liquid lipsticks |
I adore this brand, I’m just going to throw that out there! Okay
so this exact shade has a few setbacks unlike the other shades in the range but
they are nothing major! Personally I’m not overly fond of this colour, I think it’s
a good red, but still just a red. Apart from that Kat Von D has really nailed
this product, honestly this is STILL my favourite liquid lipstick formula to
date. She has some kick ass colours on
offer and I’m sure she will release even better ones! *Rumour has it she will
be re-releasing Bow & Arrow sometime in 2015*.
Do you guys own any of these liquid lipsticks? What’s your
view on them?
